WASHINGTON - The Catholic University of America women's basketball team outscored its Landmark Conference opponent Juniata College, 76-56, on the road Wednesday night.

The win advances the Cardinals to 15-8 overall while moving to 10-4 in the league as the Eagles drop to 8-16 in the 2015-16 season, 3-12 in the Landmark.

The Eagles took an early 11-5 lead in the first five minutes of play. The Lady Cards were able to close the gap by the end of the first period, putting themselves up 18-17.

Catholic came out hard in the second period outscoring Juniata 27-9. Senior Jayni Webster and junior Michelle DeSantis put up 10 points apiece in the second 10 minutes, bringing the Cards up 45-24 going into the halftime intermission.

The Cardinals opened the third period by sinking the first five points. The Eagles looked to come back from the 26 point deficit by going a nine point run, and scoring an additional seven points to outscore the Lady Cards 16-11 in the third period. Juniata's efforts would not be enough.

Catholic posted an additional 20 points in the fourth quarter, with senior Josephine Migash scoring 10, to pull ahead with a 76-56 victory.

Migash tallied a team-high 17 points during the midweek contest. DeSantis put up 14 points with four assists while classmate Melissa Errico scored 13 and pulled down a team-high 11 boards.
